What is a SIP provisional response?
SIP defines two types of responses, provisional and final. Final responses convey the result of the request processing, and are sent reliably. Provisional responses provide information on the progress of the request processing, but are not sent reliably in RFC 3261.
What is final response in SIP?
SIP has six responses. 1xx to 5xx has been borrowed from HTTP and 6xx is introduced in SIP. 1xx is considered as a provisional response and the rest are final responses.
What is SIP RFC3261?

These sessions include Internet telephone calls, multimedia distribution, and multimedia conferences.
Why is prack needed?
The PRACK request can be injected by attackers to force retransmissions of reliable provisional responses to cease. As these responses can convey important information, PRACK messages SHOULD be authenticated as any other request. Authentication procedures are specified in RFC 3261.
What is a SIP 183 response?
In a normal call flow the 183 Session Progress message indicates whether the calling user agent should provide alerting or not. Once the 183 has been sent then a 180 Ringing message is sent dependent on the specific call flow.
What is SIP prack message?
SIP PRACK (Provisional Acknowledgement) is a way to enable reliability for SIP 1xx provisional messages (excluding 100 Trying) like 180 ringing and 183 session in progress. PRACK messages are sent from the calling party to to called party, to acknowledge the receipt of a 1xx message.
What does prack mean?
PRACK is a normal SIP message, like BYE. As such, its own reliability is ensured hop-by-hop through each stateful proxy. Also like BYE, but unlike ACK, PRACK has its own response. If this were not the case, the PRACK message could not traverse proxy servers compliant to RFC 2543 [4].
